# Integrating Azure AD

## What You Need to Integrate Azure AD

All you need is a Microsoft Azure account.

## Step 1. Get Your Redirect URL

The first step of the integration process is to find and copy your redirect URL on the Admin Panel.

1. Log in to [dashboard.nexudus.com](https://dashboard.nexudus.com/) if you aren't already.
2. Click [**Settings > Integrations > Azure Active Directory**](https://dashboard.nexudus.com/settings/integrations/ad).
3. Enable the **Azure Active Directory** toggle.
4. Copy the **Redirect URI** and save it somewhere.

## Step 2. Register your Application in Azure AD

The second step of the integration process is to create an application dedicated to Nexudus user login in your Azure account.

1. Open your Azure portal at [portal.azure.com](https://portal.azure.com/).
2. Select the **Azure Active Directory** module.

1. Click ** App registrations** in the navigation menu and then click **+ New Registration**.

1. Name your application.

*We recommend using a clear name such as **Nexudus Login + Your location/network name**. For example, **Nexudus Login Kalkio Spaces**.*

          Running multiple locations?

          

You only need to create one application for your network as long as all your users log in against the same Azure Directory.

1. Add the **Return URL**  you've saved during Step 1 and complete the registration form as follows:

1. Once you've created the application, copy the **Application (client) ID** and the **Directory (tenant) ID** and save them somewhere.

1. Click Certificates and Secrets  in the navigation menu and then click on the **Client Secret** tab.

1. Click **New client secret**.
2. Name your secret and set an expiration period.

          You need to create a new secret once this one expires and update your Nexudus settings accordingly.

          

Azure will send you a reminder before the secret expires, but we strongly recommend you to also set your own reminder in your calendar.

**If the secret expires before your update, your users won't be able to log in to the Members Portal.**

1. Copy **Value** of your client secret (not the ID) and save it somewhere.

*You will need this value in the next step.*

          Treat your secret as you would any other password and make sure you save it somewhere safe.

          

## Step 3. Enabling the Azure AD Integration in Nexudus

The last step of the integration is enabling Azure AD on the Admin Panel. Make sure you have the following details from previous steps handy to complete the process:

- Your Azure AD **Directory (tenant)** and **Application (client)** IDs
- Your Azure AD **client secret**

1. Log in to [dashboard.nexudus.com](https://dashboard.nexudus.com/) if you aren't already.
2. Click [**Settings > Integrations > Azure Active Directory**](https://dashboard.nexudus.com/settings/integrations/ad).
3. Enable the **Azure Active Directory integration** toggle.
4. Enable the **Create new users in Nexudus if they don't exist toggle** if you want to automatically register users without an existing customer account as contacts in Nexudus.
5. Enable the **Prevent users from using their Nexudus password to log in** if you want customers to only be able to use Azure AD to log in to their account.

          Enabling this option will automatically redirect users to Azure AD when they click on your Members Portal login page.

          

1. Add your Azure AD **Directory (tenant) ID** in the **Tenant ID** field.
2. Add your Azure AD **Application (client) ID** in the **Client ID** field.
3. Add your Azure AD application's client secret in the **Client Secret** field.
4. Add the text you want to display to customers on the Members Portal in the **Sign in button label**.

*The default text is **Sign in with Corporate Account**.*

1. Click the **Save Changes** button.

All set! You've completed your Azure AD integration. We recommend testing the integration with a dummy customer account to ensure everything is working properly.
